About storm ideas

storm ideas ltd, based in Edinburgh, Scotland, was formed in April 2008 with the purpose of building web applications that allow communities, networks and businesses to connect and collaborate.

In this vein, we are passionate about the viral framework of social media and the opportunities networking sites represent to connect web-users from across a socio-geographic spectrum.

Equally, we are inspired by Microsoft Silverlight as an enabler for creating richer applications within the browser and, with this in mind, we look to create systems that provide new ways of understanding and interacting with information.
